Fear of MOVEment After MI and AF - InterneT Patient Education

Summary

The overall aim with the project is to evaluate if a digital patient group-education can reduce kinesiophobia and promote physical activity in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and/or atrial fibrillation (AF)

Research questions

1. Can a digital patient group-education reduce kinesiophobia and promote PA in patients with MI and/or AF?
2. Is a digital patient group-education feasible based on the patients' experiences?

Intervention: Patients with MI and/or AF and kinesiophobia meet 7 times in a group education via Zoom® video meetings with a tutor (nurse, physiotherapist) for 8 weeks and learn about PA, kinesiophobia, AF and/or CAD. The education involves four real life scenarios as a starting point for the learning process inspired by problem-based learning, live stream/recorded lectures/resource, behavioral activation and exposure to PA in order to reduce kinesiophobia and promote PA.

Conditions

• Myocardial Infarction
• Atrial Fibrillation
• Kinesiophobia

Digital patient education to reduce kinesiophobia after MI and/or AF

Group-meetings 7 times via Zoom® video with a tutor (nurse, physiotherapist) and learn about PA, kinesiophobia, AF and/or MI. Scenarios start the problem-based learning process involving recorded lectures, behavioral activation, and exposure to PA. Week1: Programme intro. Formulation of individual goals. Home assignment (HA): Lecture PA after MI/AF. Week 2. Discuss HA. Scenario 1: Why PA after MI/AF? (PBL) Formulate questions\*. HA: Answer the questions. Week 3. Follow-up HA. Scenario 2. What is MI/AF.\* Week 4. Discuss HA. Scenario 3. Living with MI/AF and kinesiophobia - How to make a change?\* HA: Map weekly activities, rate as frightening/non-frightening. List PA and choose one to implement. Use SMART GOALS. Lecture: Kinesiophobia. Week 5. Discuss HA. Scenario 4. How can I reduce my fear for PA.\* SMART, the activity. Week 6. Discuss HA. Week 7. Own individual work. HA: Evaluate, revise, and perform activities. Week 8. Follow-up of the activity plan. Summarize the program.
